Question

what is algorithms?? and what is flow chart?

Answer 1

An algorithm is an ambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. Algorithm can perform calculation, data processing and automated reasoning tasks.

A flow chart is a diagram that represents algorithms, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows.

Answer 2

In computer programming:

Algorithm:

An algorithm can be defined as a step by step representation to perform an operation.

Ex: Write an algorithm to add 2 numbers:

(1) Start

(2) Declare variables a,b and c.

(3) read values for a,b.

(4) Add a and b and assign the result to a variable c

(5) Display c

(6) Stop.





A flowchart is a diagrammatic representation that explains the sequence of operation to be performed to get the desired result.

Ex: Design a flowchart for adding 2 numbers:
